A larger than life presence, a grand full life lived. I mourn the passing but I can only be glad that the man lived such a long life.

Many thinkpieces will be made in the coming years as they have in the last few of how much fame Stan Lee deserved because our binary society can only look at things in terms of dos or did not, yes or no.

Stan deserved every bit of it. He campaigned to put Marvel out there, he made it seem like the line that the cool kids were reading, he made you feel special for Making Yours Marvel and the talent did the rest. Stan Lee changed the comic book industry and the effects can be felt even to today.

So while I will write this with a heavy heart I will write it with the excitement it deserves, the excitement he gave it.

Excelsior!

Back from the bellows of hellBack from the back of a jail in a cellBack from the common decrees to the common degreeBack to the streets from the EastBack to the belly of beastBack to the place of my peaceBack to me holding my pieceAnything working disturbing that peaceWill certainly meet the deceased, capiche?

Stan Lee was a visionary. He made the Uncanny X-Men human, Spider Man your friendly neighbor, Captain America a symbol, the Fantastic 4 a family, and the Avengers heroes. He made Marvel... marvelous. Thank you so much for making all of us true believers. R.I.P.

May you rest in peace, Stan Lee, last of Marvel's remaining titans. You gave us a wild ride. I shall devote this day to you by rereading Silver Surfer: Parable, one of his greatest works of the modern era.

Stan Lee is one of those cultural legends whose accomplishments makes him equal to other legends like Walt Disney. Because of him, Marvel was built and beloved figures like Spiderman and the X-Men are known throughout the world, even to people who really do not touch comics. My personal first exposure to comics comes from Spiderman and he still remains one of my favorite Superheroes.

May you and your contributions to the world be remembered now and always, Stan Lee.
